Networking in micro/nano reliability research encouraged by EUCEMAN, the European center for micro- and nanoreliability

Mastering the ever growing challenges in component and systems reliability have become important criteria for the comprehensive use of advanced micro- and nanotechnologies. Advanced reliability research in the micro-nano transition region, in short micronanoreliability, is characterized by a "multi" in various sense, -materials, -functionality, -dimension, etc., and therefore increasingly requires the joint efforts of specialists from different fields. In bringing together scientists, engineers and other experts and institutions (legal entities) to collaborate on a voluntary, independent and non-profit basis, an association has been constituted which carries the name European Center for Micro- and Nanoreliability e.V.
